I slashed the paper with a razor and wet the it before I adding color to today’s study. While the paper was still wet, I made some blobs of yellow and used a dip pen to ink the outline them.

My character was probably dropping to the ground as the arrow passed by. Also, I haven’t decided if Mr. Tell was targeting a banana or a yellow beret. At any rate, everyone is safe after the incident.
